Agents are GO! posted:What's funnier is that this is the remake. The original didn't match up to his vision, so he redid it from scratch.  The story behind is appropriately stupid. There was a thread on the Elder Scrolls forums in... 2005, must have been, about how the in-game "muffin" (an easter egg you can find on one of the plantations) should have a unique model instead of just being a renamed loaf of bread. This was a bit before cosmetic/food/whatever mods were really in fashion, so the idea was an amusing novelty. Eventually, someone made a muffin model, and this led to the predictable hilarious jokery about how it would be so zany and random if there was an epic quest mod based on muffins. Being fourteen and being entirely swept up in early-to-mid-2000s internet culture, I volunteered. I am not proud. Still, I think the end mod turned out a lot better than expected, and it proved pretty popular and enduring, if never as famous as other quest mods of similar scope. That's fine by me, much as it started as a dumb joke which is faintly embarassing to recall, I'm proud that I had the dedication and attention span to put together something so ambitious over the course of a year when I was so young. It's probably that pride that led to me revisiting it years later to see what I would make of it, and subsequently wanting to do it "right" before I went to uni, kind of saying goodbye to the embarassingly huge part Morrowind and its modding community played in my teen years. It's more like a huge overhaul patch than a remake, fixing most aspects of it to a lesser or greater extent (juvenile dialogue, stupid unbalanced poo poo, cell clutter, bad lighting, buggy scripting etc - think I added a couple of sidequests too). The Enhanced Edition thing is a bit of a joke at CDProjekt's expense, it only really took me a month or so to make it. Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Nov 18, 2013 |

There were a couple of horrifying text-based sex mods where you can visit brothels and do the brothel questlines (they had those, yes). One of them was called "The Kink Guild" or something and one of the highlights was a pair of nix-hounds who pooped on you. I know about this because the author posted Muffinwind as an example of how Morrowind mods had just reached a point of being stupid and disrespectful to the source material

Maybe late to the party but I just found out that Qarl died of liver disease in June  Haven't spoken to him in a while, and his mods weren't necessarily my thing, but I still remember being there when The Underground was taking form - a mad, off-the-wall and ambitious as hell creation by a mind at least as ambitious, weird and buggy as it was. However fond of dedicating his time to creating video game fetish gear he was, he was a great, friendly guy who helped me out a lot, and I'm sorry to have lost touch with him. rip

It's by the same guy who made Deus Ex Machina, right? I really didn't like that one much - I feel bad, a lot of work went into it and it's technically an impressive effort, but it had the same problem of terrible layouts and nonsensical and aimless quests/directions. Also it used Homestuck music.

does Tamriel Rebuilt have more than a handful of somewhat-buggy Telvanni and some decent low-level other quests yet? I think I last played it two, two and a half years ago. Holy poo poo, that was my last big Morrowind playthrough. I love what TR have done with the world, but I've always been a quest-oriented player, so I've never delved into it for more than a brief (and very rewarding) hike.

Does your pack work with MGSO or is there a bit of redundancy there? I'm not new to modding, but coming back after a break, so your effort's really appreciated

Jesus. The LGNPC Telvanni ones are ones I usually recommend - the most bloated and edgy ones tend to be the Redoran-based ones - but, uh... maybe I don't remember them as well as I thought I did.

Mortimer posted:Stuporstar if you post that here I will love you forever. Rebirth has so much going for it, but at the cost of sanity But it also has a lot of unnecessary "balance" tweaks that don't make the game more balanced, just less fun, it has this stupid restocking thing, it has awkward tavern sit-down-people floating a foot away from their chairs and getting in my way, it has a bunch of other stuff I don't care about, and I have to have it because apparently these things should be part of the same mod as everything else.

Did some looking and it's definitely Great House Dagoth, which is also much better written. Sixth House is fun but buggy and is really cartoonishly evil.

Is there a semi-balanced version of Magical Trinkets of Tamriel? I downloaded v4, wandered into a random bandit cave and found a trinket in every single barrel and crate I looked in. Had to be about 10000 gold's worth in the first room alone. Little bit ridiculous. I don't remember it being like this last time I played with it.

Yeah I couldn't help but be kind of disappointed at how... unmagisterly the player ends up being in Rise of House Telvanni, especially since I was playing it alongside Uvirith's Legacy or whatever the good one was.

lmao morrowind rebirth outright removes the hair shirt of st kingdoms of alamur from the game world. I checked in the CS and everything. The item still exists, he just deleted the instance of it that's placed in the game, making the temple questline impossible without the console. For no reason. Good mod.

Tamriel Rebuilt is really pretty and fun to explore for a few hours but I still feel like there isn't much to do outside of maybe map 1, and even it still has some quests and poo poo that are coming "eventually". I know, playing Morrowind for the quests lol, but I like to have a goal to point me in a direction and find interesting things along the way. TR just feels like... you stumble across cool and weird places sometimes, but all you can really do is look at them and nod appreciatively. It's fun for a few hours but I wish there was more to it.

Mournhold was cool but the balancing and story were idiotic. Hm, okay, I can choose to serve either a sexy goddess lady or the King who tried to have me assassinated. Hm, okay, sexy goddess lady is clearly batshit insane and wants me to flood Mournhold with ash storms for no reason whatsoever. Can I side with the King after all? Nope, but when I asked him why he sicced assassins on me (the reason I came here in the first place), he says "I dunno lol" and I say "lol kk" and now I'm railroaded into helping the crazy goddess do stupid poo poo because she's my ex and someone on the writing team was going through a very strange time with his estranged wife, and also the sewers are full of goblins with wonky wooden clubs that do more damage than legendary Daedric warhammers. Tribunal is salvaged by all the cool things to discover and get involved in around the city. Bloodmoon is overall really good but weird as gently caress, nothing about the setting or lore fits into the game in any way whatsoever and even a lot of the models and textures feel like they're from a completely different aesthetic. It's a bizarrely disjointed experience, but hey, Solstheim and Raven rock are fun. Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Jul 20, 2015 |

I didn't like Rise of House Telvanni much because, even though it was technically really well-designed, you really never feel like the Archmagister, with all the dumb metal hauling quests and the ridiculous female Magister that comes in out of nowhere halfway through good lord. I was playing it alongside I think Uvirith's Legacy and the comparison was jarring - I went from holding court in my rad magic citadel to decide the lives of peons to running around mopping up ghosts for a Mary Sue Original Character Donut Steele. I loved Suran Underworld when I was like 14-15 and I still think it's pretty impressive for an older mod, but... Bloodfang Tong. Illuminated Order is rad, Vivec's Fate is cool especially for being from like 2003, Lost Heir is so buggy I never finished the loving thing.

I've never found this item before but when I go to equip it it pulls up a drop down list of Tribunal Temples that I can port over to. And it doesn't even cost a charge to use that part of it. It also has a clicky Almsivi spell effect.

I think I posted my running experienced with it ITT, but a standout was that the author’s obsession with ~balance~ at the cost of all fun, atmosphere and character was so great that he apparently decided that the Hair Shirt of St Aumanator was unbalanced or something, because he removed it from the game entirely and made the Temple questline impossible to complete.

Atrayonis posted:Speaking of quest mods, I stumbled upon this and it sounds fun, but I have no idea how good or bad it is. Though it does remind me of, and is probably far less buggy and far more impressive than the horrible Snakes on a Plane boat-based quest I made when I was sixteen, but that's not saying much. I have a friend who occasionally reminds me about times where I came into school, earnestly told him that I'd remade the Oblivion climax with a giant chicken called Cluckatosh, assured him it was the funniest thing ever made and then fallen asleep. It was a bad time for me.
